Synopsis: A small impoverished town has been chosen as the new site of a big plastics company; the plant's developer faces an obstacle: his own son, who opposes the construction of the plant because they would have to chop down a tree he is fond of; the kid garners the allegiance of an ex-football player.
Appraisal: Corny drama, which cops out of the implications of its plot's demagogy with a deus ex machina ending twist. As a bonus for masochists, you get some equally corny songs at a few sequences. What is somewhat astounding is how, despite all that, it still manages to harbor good performances by Forster, Judd and Robertson.
